Freedom is lack of constraint which is obviously only possible to the extent we are ignorant of causality. Causality is infinite and there is no sense in which we are actually free, but to the extent we don't have predictive certainty we can feel free. Freedom of the will is literally and only ignor...

The idea of anything beyond what we can perceive begins with an ineffable boundary condition, itself more complex than whatever it's trying to explain, making it intellectually regressive. The universe as perceived is all there is for all intents and purposes until we discover something else, not un...

All versions of theology are attempting to explain the impossible in terms of the incredible. The foundation of all versions of religion is dogma, an instance of faith, and all are equally indistinguishable from fiction, intellectually recessive, and should be treated accordingly.
